Private Priorat Tour with Wine Tastings & Lunch from Barcelona
Description
The day consists of exclusive visits and tastings at privately hosted venues that showcase the wide and balanced variety of the wines that make the Priorat region such a world-renowned success. Depending on the day, lunch is a carefully paired tasting menu that is either hosted at one of the wineries or at a local traditional restaurant showcasing local wines. Priorat Wine tours provide an excellent opportunity to add some amazing wines to your personal wine collection that would be otherwise very difficult and/or expensive to acquire from outside the Priorat or Spain.

Itinerary
In the morning, drive to the scenic village of La Morera de Montsant, home to the renowned Celler Pasanau estate. Meet the passionate winemakers who maintain this family tradition, and explore their hillside vineyards with stunning views of the Priorat landscape. Then, head into the cellar to discover their meticulous winemaking process before enjoying a tasting of their elegant, full-bodied wines.
Clos Figueras is the second out of the three excellent wineries you will visit during this day trip. On your way from Barcelona to Priorat, as you pass eye-catching terraces of vines that are carved into the hillsides, listen to an orientation of the area from your guide. Tellingly expensive, the rich and full-bodied produce of the area has been subject to harsh growing conditions and labour-intensive harvesting; the grapes are mostly picked by hand. After visiting visit a small local winery to sample your first three Priorat varietals of the day, we will head to Clos Figueres winery, run by Christopher Cannan, a pioneering Priorat winemaker. Learn how the wine is produced by grapes from old vines, without the use of insecticides or other products, and recharge with a traditional 3-course lunch, paired with their wines.
Next, continue to the charming village of Gratallops and visit Celler Devinssi, a small boutique winery in the heart of Priorat. Weather permitting, enjoy a memorable wine tasting right in the vineyards, surrounded by spectacular hilltop views. Learn about their artisanal winemaking process and taste a selection of their elegant, limited-production wines.
